We'll go to very distant lands
The Adventure Team was a special mission force for the United States military. Led by Joe Colton, the Adventure Team assembled mission specialists to tackle threats anywhere from the four corners of the Earth... and beyond.
It would also serve as the model for the later Counter-terrorist Group Delta, which was named G.I. Joe in honor of Joe Colton.
Members of the original Adventure Team include:
- Joe Colton (team leader)
- Mike Power, the Atomic Man
- Miles "Mayhem" Manheim
- Bulletman
- Stalker
They are sometimes referred to as the Super Adventure Team or Adventure Force.
Fiction
G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers
An Adventure Team mission managed to piss off General Mihai and they fled across the Himalayas to escape. Unfortunately, en route they (and their pursuers) ran afoul of Cobra-La and their Decepticon allies. Mike Power was killed by Bludgeon and Colton taken prisoner. G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: Black Horizon
IDW Generation 1 continuity
The Adventure Team met Britain's own hero, Action Man!
In 1994, the group was still active but was hip to the time, rebranded as the big bad battling dudicuses of Adventure Force. They raided Garrison Kreiger's Brasnya base but sadly did not realise their long-lost ally Mike Power was not dead. They were surprised to find a time-tossed Sgt. Savage standing there. When Eagles Scream
In the early 21st century, the Adventure Team/Force were mothballed and replaced with G.I. Joe, named for Joe Colton. Years later, during a strategic meeting, Colton would reminisce to Miles Manheim about their Team days during a meeting and grouse at having had to give it up for a desk job. Secret Raiders
Notes
- While Colton had appeared in the Marvel Comics Joe run (as a representation of the original G.I. Joe), the Adventure Team got their first fictional appearance in 2005 in "G.I. Joe vs. the Transformers: Black Horizon".
- Miles Mayhem née Manheim was never an Adventure Team member in the toyline (nor in the Joe line). He was added to the crew by IDW in order to tie the M.A.S.K. comic to G.I. Joe and made into the toyline's Sea Adventurer figure. Similarly, the G.I. Joe Stalker was only established to be the identity of the "Adventurer" figure (released as "Tom Stone" in the Action Man line) in Revolutionaries.
